Library

I forgot about the library.  I dare not check out books with such disorder at home, but the library space is amazing in its order and simplicity, not to mention the view out the window.  It is balm.  I have even discovered the Vish Puri murder mystery series.  They will transport me... to India.

Once again I find

The library.

The voices are low

And pleasant.

There is no background music.

I sit and face

A bank of windows

Floor to ceiling,

Look out on golden trees

Against a pearl gray sky.

I imagine the kitchen painted

In fall colors.

Here is

More order

Than I have encountered

In days.

Here is big space

In big order.

Soft voices.

Library low and pleasant

Leaves gold yellow,

Pearl gray sky

Through wide-paned windows

Floor to ceiling.
